Variable Search System | Basic Recording |
When a program is recorded, the starting point is given an Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS Index Search System (VISS) cannot recognize index marks made by old VCRs. If the VCR has trouble finding a mark, it is probably because the cassette was recorded on a VCR without VISS. If you want to index two programs in a row, set your VCR to stop, then start recording each program.
